Does this allow for a predefined budget?

Even if zero net new insight, he has access to information on most things, not just AI, that the layperson might never have, even in the future. Not intended as praise at all (i'd say this is true for a lot of C-level in a lot of big companies).

Bene-gesserit have entered the chat!

I generally agree with this comment, but what option does a decision maker have here? (apart from similar products that probably will end up doing the same things anyway). Are there equivalent scale/functionality products that can truly serve as an option?

I'd like to be able to do something similar, but the old batteries in these things seem like a point of catastrophic failure. How is that dealt with?

Feels to me like the toolchain for using LLMs in various tasks is still in flux (i interpret all of this as "stuff in different places like .md or skills or elsewhere that is appended to the context window" (i hope that is correct)). Shouldnt this overall process be standardized/automated? That is, use some self-reflection to figure out patterns that are then dumped into the optimal place, like a .md file or a skill?

I'd love to believe this, but very recent history has shown (in the US at least) that we are moving backwards and trying to resist renewable energy.

Can be argued that there is intuitive satisfaction/pleasure/utility that spectators gain from watching sports competitions. The payoff is a lot more obvious/instant. Whereas with a lot of tech these days, what needle are we really moving? Are people truly happier scrolling for two hours, compared with watching an edge-of-seat soccer game?

I recall way back in the day when Stephen Fry used to host QI, they did a bit about a lasagne battery. Sean Lock was on the panel if i remember and spun it out into a ipod-style "lasagne-pod"

i think the applications to spy-craft could be quite interesting here. Something for the next mission impossible movie maybe?

I thought this was about scots/scottish dialects.

I find this interesting but the nomenclature escapes me: How is T(z) = z + zT + zT^2 + ... ? I find the jump from the functional programming description of the tree to this recurrence relation not intuitive

This. There seems to be one of these announcements every so often, and i havent seen any of them used at scale, or making any kind of dent in the status quo.

So GFS->graphcast = more accurate coarse-grained prediction (0,25 degree iirc), -> WRF for fine grained interpolation of forecast?
